Well known for using unconventional technologies to make unusual fashion items, Milan-based designer, Mauro Orietti-Carella has produced a range of Botox handbags. A former dermatologist, he experimented with exotic skins including crocodile (which is highly favored as a leather for upmarket handbags), ostrich and python, and found that injecting the skins with silicone improved their quality. The leather becomes softer, and the colors also seem to become more vibrant. It’s a weird idea, but the items he has produced are a hit with celebrities, especially the handbags that are coated with a layer of silver and 18-carat gold dust.
